Does anyone know any info on the new shots for 11 year olds that stops them from getting cervical cancer?

Cervical cancer vaccine
A new vaccine known as Gardasil offers protection from the most dangerous types of HPV 鈥?the virus that causes most cervical cancers. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved the vaccine in June 2006. The national Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices recommends routine vaccination for girls age 11 and 12, as well as girls and women ages 13 to 26 if they haven't received the vaccine already. The vaccine is most effective if given to girls before they become sexually active.

Although the vaccine could prevent up to 70 percent of cervical cancer cases, it can't prevent infection with every virus that causes cervical cancer. Routine Pap tests to screen for cervical cancer remain important. Source(s): http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/cervica...
go to the gynocologist. they can give it to you and give you all the information you need. get it now, its best when you are younger and you are not sexually active. its very important, have your mom set you an appointment.and it doesnt stop it, it just prevents certain kinds.you can get it up until you are 25 though i think.
Yes its called HPV. Ironically I just got that shot today (and no Im not 11 ;) It hurts like h@l!
They don't prevent cervical cancer persay, but it does prevent the human papaloma virus (genital warts) which is the main cause of cervical cancer. The HPV virus is spread through sexual contact and is responsible for a good 90 percent of all cervical cancers.

The new vaccine is recommended for girls aged 9 and up. It immunizes the recipient against a common virus that is known to cause one very common type of cervical cancer. It is a very safe immunization and there should be no aversion to having your pediatrician give it to your daughter(s).
